3 Man Paintball Tournament Tips

[elmowithgun]

I believe most of what he said but u can't leave snake open, it's always good to have someone in the snake.

[GeorgeClothierMusic]

I'm playing a 3 man tourney this Saturday :)

[Elit3Paintball]

is that the pinokio?

[dragonpo6]

I respect his opinion as he has an assload more experience than i do, but in my first 3 man tourney we played defensivly and slow for 6 matches and we were destroyed. our last to we said f it and we played incredibly aggressive and we did much better than playing defensivly.also we had spyders ; ; and i had a pirahana gti without rampage board so i was shooting 5 bps at most.

[AAAngelsofdeathhh]

@PBexxpert its azodin and its very similar to spyder but it is better than spyder its like and upgrade from spyder. he gets sponsored by them so he uses their guns they are pretty good :)

[HostileChild]

So many garbage paintball videos have more views than this but i find this one the most helpful for 3 mans, weird.

[varocks183]

@PBexxpert Believe it was the Blitz or Zenith

[enteringsumner]

this is some basic ass shit this guy sounds like he sits and locks his lanes down thats it. doesn't look like he plays judging by his outfit

[wigglyworm95]

@enteringsumner dont hate man, the guy owns techpb. its a big paintball forum. the guys been playing since paintball was like.. invented. its for beginners anyway.

[NYrocks25]

nice azodin blitz i have 1 to and im new to paintball

[paintballcapt062]

In a tournament scene decided points a tie is still a "win". That's some real good advice there. Face palms

[chris55268]

@paintballcapt062 dont talk shit until your paintball videos are more successful

[paintballcapt062]

@chris55268 nice educated response. It is just bad advice to tell people to sacrifice points in order to wear down the teams. Of course if you haven't made finals cause of a slow game you would never know.

[chris55268]

@paintballcapt062 fuck educated response its the internet

[paintballcapt062]

@chris55268 keep it up you are really helping to prove your point of me being incorrect. Keep it up buddy you are gonna go far kid.

[rippinitreal]

Are u pro? Just wonderin

[5ozofpain]

@rippinitreal no hes not



[NsTJaWs]

where could i design paintball clothing or my team?

[mitchelltimmy]

the top comments are the  same --_--

[paintballagile]

message me i have some questions plz. thank you

[TDM195]

Can you do a review on hoppers and the speed loader caps for them

[dontbejealousdude]

Speaking to pros from Nexus and Dynasty snake is still a good bunker to play in even three man as you can keep sight of your opponent easily

[69mrjkjkjk]

me and my freinds have a 3 man team and we play fasssst and win all the time we have only lost like 4 games

[MrPyroEnthusiast]

Kingman Fasta Loader???? I need to know!

[pedrosanquin]

@MrPyroEnthusiast cheaped up version of a pinokio, the shell cracks easy, but it is decent. For the price though you can get the pinokio used.

[ilovepaintball4]

@MrPyroEnthusiast rotor!!!

[Chaos278]

1:31 for great justice

[TytoProductions]

why do you say "this,that and the other" so much?

[AppleUniversity]

the guy at 3:00 doesn't get the "dont blindly run down the field" concept

[lsags77]

thanks



[lsags77]

what gun was he holding in this video?

[brianfrances67]

@lsags77 azodin blitz

[freestylejake2003]

@lsags77 Azodin Blitz

[PaintBallKid0563]

mike, are you using an angel??



[interscope8]

@PaintBallKid0563 lmao

[604912gj]

@PaintBallKid0563 No he's not. Angel's are spool valve that there is a poppet. And if you look at the top of the video it shows the brand of the marker.

[PaintBallKid0563]

@604912gj ooooo.......didnt see that :) thanks

[Radamsgp007]

@PaintBallKid0563 He is actually wrong about the Angel (its a poppet with an internal bolt) but correct about the Azodin Mike has though.

[Radamsgp007]

@604912gj fail, the Angel A1 Fly is a poppet with an internal bolt, look it up if you dont believe me, you are correct about the Azodin Mike has though

[paintcheckPB]

@Radamsgp007 Azodin is a blow back....not a poppit. Sorry.

[XSVPUNKk]

@paintcheckPB yes, which is a type of a poppit valve marker, the "poppit" valve style is from the ram slamming against a valve which lets air through the bolt, it does not matter how the ram moves forwads or backwards

[catcher69101]

haha wat if mi opponet watches the same video...the game wuld never end lol. good video mike

[sissyslayer54]

Right as he talks bout running by bunkers the. A kid runs by every bunker haha

[dagameruler1]

i hope this works my cusions and me made a paint ball crew the family assassins we practiced this and we won next we goin to the turnaments

[thecrystalsaint]

so mike, if you have a little time here or their, how bout a zenith review :D

[altehgudnamesrtaken]

@Loujack526 there isnt a set speed, You just press the power button, on full battery it runs at 55 balls per second, then obviously that slows down as it runs out of battery

[ilovepaintball4]

@altehgudnamesrtaken he speed FEED as in the thing that you dont have to open the lid

[brett6666]

LOL This is kind of awkward, I did X-ball (tournament style but not a real tournament) 3 on 3 with my friends today and I was using snake every time LOL. That thing about paintballs bouncing onto the pods is totally right xD But I did at least get everyone else out before they got me. I felt bad for my friends because I was taking the other team out too fast for them (for once) Haha. I guess I was just lucky with the snake so I will keep using it for now.

[Loujack526]

whats the best speed feed for the Dye Rotor Loader? Please answer someone !

[MultiMadcap]

@Loujack526 km spine

[magicflipmaster]

@Loujack526 i like the exalt

[MrPBaller425]

haha i just subscribed cause that stupid asshole who unsubscribed. i love the vids mike keep em comin.

[danthebubba]

if i am entering a 3 man tourny with a 3 min limit how many pods should i bring... Im thinking 5

[SuperTristanR]

Press 4 for epic run

[privategramcracker01]

im think ing of joining the paint ball team at my college, should i do this? do i have to pay for my own stuff?

[TestingProducts101]

mike what gun do you have in your hand

[CanadianPaintballer7]

Is that an azodin blitz? And can you use one in a tournement?

[YoungGunzPAINTBALL5]

i love how he ran

[Darthpaul11]

thanks mike, this really does help a lot. The field I go to usually has 3man games going, and the past 2x ive been, ive picked up on some stuff. The info you told me just either confirmed it and gave me ideas.

[paintballer235]

hey guys i have playing for about 2 years and we were playing in a 3 man tournament d 5 i have a few videos up please check them out i want helpful advice please look up Boss 3 man win and that will get to the vids thank you guys

[MrWoodsballer95]

[crazzypaintballer]

[crazzypaintballer]

you are my role modle

[RawTalentClan]

PAINTBALL IS THE BEST F***** SPORT EVER!!!!! PAINTBALL 4 LIFE!!! WHO AGREES WITH ME

[kappkids]

i havent played in like 5 years and i would blast this guy easily.

[Hanning11]

@kappkids no you wouldnt

[kappkids]

@Hanning11 yes. i would.

[Hanning11]

@kappkids Erm no you wouldnt

[kappkids]

@Hanning11 yea because this guy is amazing right.. lol.

[Hanning11]

@kappkids no because I just think your a little bastard who is trying to be cool on the internet because he has no real life

[BreakAwayBallr91]

All the 3 mans i've played in play uber fast. shoot someone off one side and run down the field oooooorrrraaaahhhhh

[GodsTwistedinfantry]

dang man thanx for the tips!!

[J4K3F13LD5]

tbh u can play 3 man however fast you like as long as you dominate i like to start slow and build it up

[J4K3F13LD5]

TheMistyfilms - u my friend are a fucking arsehole

[pvandpb]

@PHILLIPSHERRY

I totally agree. I used this strategy yesterday and placed 9th out of 12. My advice is to play more aggressively off the break and bunker the other team out the second you get an opening or advantage. We could have placed top 3 easily if we realized how much more explosive we needed to be off the bat.

I disagree with this video.

[PHILLIPSHERRY]

This is the only video i disagree with mike on. I have played 3 3-man events and place 1st - fierce 1st - cfp 2nd -cfp! I think 3-man is the fastest game i have ever played. It also depends on the layout because you can slow the game down if the layout is made for it. But there are 3 man events were its a race to the 50!

[PaintballKing99]

One question is it the same when your playing a 3man pump game? im in my first pump tourny and the other teams are probably gonna be vets at the sport, any tips or do I wait till they make the mistake?

[redsilence11]

The guy at 3:02 didnt follow your rule Mike....

[WestsidePaintball]

Thank you god Mike! we have our first 3 man this sunday! Your timing is impeccable! Much support from us up here in Nebraska!

[fingerboarding142]

hey mike i just played in my first touny it was supposed to be a begginer tourny but 5 of the 12 teams was not their first tourny and we got 9th but we just need experience

[OnlyInhuman666]

all ive ever played is 3 man, this is really helpful info. thanks mike!

[LittleMurkk]

Cute dimples.

[Kahanamoku]

A tie is not a win, its a loss for both teams.. especially when points matter in getting you to the finals.

[LittleMurkk]

@Kahanamoku Depends if you have a game win or not. If your ahead, let them make the mistakes. Let them run into your gun. Play some tourny ball, then argue with mike.

[paintballtechpb]

@Kahanamoku

would you much rather take a tie or a loss?

If you have half a hopper left, and your opponent has 3 pods left, and you stall the game and time runs out, that's worse than a loss?

You can't redo a loss. You can redo a tie. A tie gives you another chance to win the game, as opposed to doing something stupid and losing.

[Kahanamoku]

@paintballtechpb good point, hadn't thought of it that way.

@LittleMurkk - you don't know me, so don't assume I've never played tourney.

[LittleMurkk]

@Kahanamoku You were just bagging on mike, then said "good point, hadn't thought of it that way". Your like a girl. Make up your mind. You clearly havent played tourny if you dont know that a tie is better than a loss. Stop while you think your ahead.

[Kahanamoku]

@LittleMurkk Maybe you should look at someones profile before flaming them, Cunt.

According to your logic, if you Tie every game, you win the tourney... maybe you need to learn some more rules.

[LittleMurkk]

@Kahanamoku Maybe you should go back and read the comments. i NEVER said it was better than a win. I said it was better than a loss. Do you know how to read?

[kjata090]

Mike you should do a video on the NCPA. Even though our sport is going downhill in the national events, I am a firm believer that if we can get NCPA more out there and more professional then the sport will continue to grow.

[89KxRider]

hey, kinda curious, what size tank is that? 68, 4500?

[mrDxPhd]

sweet thanks. doing a 3 man this march. first tourny! young guns. more tips? on young guns?

[Halomaster2437]

@mrDxPhd What I learned from my first 3 man was to communicate. The quiet teams got out quickly. The more confident you are the better you're going to play. And remember to capture the flag!

[Jarecausey]

Mike, If you ever run a clinic, I'll drive to tampa just to attend!

[MrAzpaintball3r]

nice vid it help

[WhodiPaintball]

"Type PRIZE before youtube and hit enter"

[EliaseViao]

Last time i checked 3 man was extremely fast?

[TheXball]

everytime i shoot someone i feel like pancakes

[LAXchiLL08]

@TheXball *slow clap*

[codyLIKESbaseball]

Mike why are you such a Boss? Is it the haircut?

[raveolution6]

i agree and disagree on some of this, yes play conservative, but you also dont want to let the other team get past the 50. and watch other teams. in my last 3 man tourney we had to play a different style for every team. and pump players, the team we played stayed around the 30-40 mark and long balled the hell out of every one

[rampagedpaintballer]

camp mike? ill go even if it's out of state.

[10998d]

Mike! You should start a camp somewhere!

[exrated34]

this would have been helpful last weekend lol. just 4 days too late mike :( but still keep making great video's mike!

[XskillyXdillyXdonutX]

mike.... a tie is like kissing your sister, atleast thats what my coach says

[NXnickXN1]

mike not to hate but .. i disagree, 3 mans should be played at a fast pace....why would i want to let the clock run out and shoot all my paint and not get points for the win? just doesnt make sense in my book...

[RadicaLpaintball]

@NXnickXN1 I agree .. 3on3 should be played fast & agressive

[larryjerry1]

@NXnickXN1

he's not saying let the clock run down. there's a difference between being conservative and hiding.

[NXnickXN1]

@larryjerry1 at 1:41 i'm pretty sure thats exactly whats hes saying

[phenn777]

@TheMistyfilms lol shut your mouth!

[paintballtechpb]

@TheMistyfilms

[paintball234969]

@TheMistyfilms you must be from pb nation...

[TheMistyfilms]

@paintball234969 your right i do use pbnation other than techpb and you clearly do not play tournament ball because 99.9% of tournament players agree with me.

[paintball234969]

@TheMistyfilms so i dont play tournament paintball because i would rather trust mike over you? whats wrong with his new vids?

[TheMistyfilms]

@paintball234969 alright ill see you at texas if you play tournament ball

[hse97]

@TheMistyfilms why do u hate, he is just trying to help people with paintball. I dont see you doing that

[DeathOnToast5]

@TheMistyfilms lol bell end alert

[stainsquinn]

@TheMistyfilms Mikes videos are alot better than yours i looked at your page and Mikes are better than yours

[TheMistyfilms]

@stainsquinn i dont put in any effort to my channel i don't sit on the computer all day

[TheMistyfilms]

[TheNzpaintball]

[InvertMiniFreak]

@TheMistyfilms Pbnation follower

[TheMistyfilms]

@InvertMiniFreak did you really just call me a follower your the one who is following techpb and you can't even hate on anyone your name is InvertMiniFreak

[InvertMiniFreak]

@TheMistyfilms i am a freak over Invert minis



[TheMistyfilms]

@InvertMiniFreak they suck.

[oTarrell13o]

1:32 Epic Run animation lol

[salyer2015]

k heres my question: would u still be yelling while ur moving up the field? cuz if u yell ur giving ur position away.

[ThePiperPunk]

Hell Yeah! I can see it now.... "Mike's Free Paintball Workshop"

I'm down.

[xstr33tr4cerx]

wow i havent watched a paintballtechpb vid in a while wat bro

[pvandpb]

I actually really needed this. Got a 3 man coming up in a week.

[GoPaintman]

Hey Mike,

You shouldn't tell players to make it 3 one on one's. Doing so makes it no longer a team effort. What worked out for me and my team was to make overlapping 2 on ones so every body worked together. Also the back man has to communicate with the left and right guys because he has to make a 2 on one with all other opponent players.

[GoPaintman]

2 people play 5 man.

[TippmannAlphaCinqo]

i agree with most things you say mike. but in a 3 man if u put a guy in the snake, the other team knows theyre gunna get him so it can act as a distraction. and as long as you dont shoot over the top you wont get hit just watch the tape and let the other 2 on your team take care of the guys shootign at you

[skate2332]

what gun is that your holding in this video mike?

[mohamiltonA5]

well its 3man xball pretty much everyone plays the same way, d side works really good

[jheude92]

ever occured to anybody that what if both teams used mike's strategies????

not being a jerk...it just flashed in my mind...

[QuantumPhysics13]

@jheude92

We were practising with another team (we play 3 man), we did something similar to what mike said and with out knowning the other team did the same. The game lasted between 7 to 10 minutes.

[jheude92]

@QuantumPhysics13 really?? that kinda sucks...both teams camping...

[CastawaySPR]

press pause, play and hold down 2

[peppo971]

@CastawaySPR funnier if you press one

[JoelTGM]

these are good videos mike

[mrdzicc]

@lilbleezy777

Depends on how much paint you use. I love how the pinokio carries alot more paint but I personally like the rotor better. Its more reliable I've found. Sure you can be reloading more (if you have the extended nose on the pinokio) but the rotor is more reliable. So I would have to say rotor

[mshig11]

Control the engagement. Control the engagement! :P

[lilbleezy777]

Pinokio or Rotor for Ego 07 (Speedball and Woodsball)

[bestmarty]

@lilbleezy777 Either or is fine, they both have battery saving features so you can play multiple 45 min woodsball games with a fresh set a batteries and they both feed fast enough for speedball.

I lean towards rotor because it is more compact (and in my opinion cooler looking lol) and it can be easily cleaned if it gets hit.

But if your on a budget go for which ever you can find in better condition and cheaper used.

[ThePppi3]

Dear Mike,

I no longer play paintball but you videos kick ass so i still watch them =)

[PaintballMontage]

@ThePppi3 Same haha

[DatPaintballGuy]

Great tips!!

[watsaroundthecorner]

at 3:01 to 3:03 looks lik he's blindly running down the field

[iBikeSA]

Whats a good starting gun, im trying to decide between the g4 and the proto rail

[kharnthebetrayer5]

@iBikeSA I have a g4 and it works great. The only problems i had is leaking out of the fitting but problems online say that this problem fixes itself with use. The G4 is extremely light and fast the g4 can shoot 35 bps on nxl full auto.

[arturr03]

mike dam you read my mind!! ple realese all the tip vids or 3man tournament, its our first time and we need practice before the tourney

[drmouse87]

@arturr03 you can't really practice for 3 man, just practice individual skills and communication

[gh5432]

Where is your NEW SHIT mike?

[tarzanc1]

hey me and my friends are going to start a paintball team we have guns and have 7 people but we are probally only going to be doing 3s and 5s we are young (13-14) and how do you find a tournament for age cause we dont want to be playing people like 20 years older than us are there special leagues for younger players?

[AStaticCharacter]

@tarzanc1 Go to your field, and ask about tournaments, or watch for flyers. Usually theres divisions, and most of the young kids stay in the lower divisions. Sometimes there is even a youth division, which is like 13 and under, but if I were you, I'd play with better players, because it'll force you to get better.

[insanityback]

burning out clock = win

shooting other team = victory

[whatjamacallit]

had some 3 man speedball games, average time was generally under a minute. 

[garrettman94]

@whatjamacallit did u just go like on the 9th, if so my team is Texas in Refuge

[memouson239]

HRL IN KATY, TEXAS all games are 1 minute and less we do not sit around we play paintball
